Installing memory modules

Adding memory to your server is an easy way to make programs run faster. You can
increase the amount of memory in your server by installing options called memory-
module kits. Each kit contains one industry-standard, dual inline memory module
(DIMM). Your server uses a two-way interleaved memory configuration. You must
install matched pairs of memory kits, but the set in slots 1 and 4 do not need to be the
same size as the set in slots 2 and 3.
Notes:
1. Your server comes with two dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) installed in
2. Your xSeries 342 server supports 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1GB DIMMs.
3. Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the server.

DIMM slots 1 and 4. Install additional DIMMs as a matched pair in DIMM slots 2
and 3 and as instructed in the documentation that comes with your option.
You must install the DIMMs in pairs of the same size. Place pair 1 in slots 1 and 4
and pair 2 in slots 2 and 3. Refer to the ServerProven
Web at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat for information about memory modules for
use with your server.
Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must save the new configura-
tion information in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. When you restart the
server, the system displays a message indicating that the memory configuration
has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and select Save Set-
tings.
